Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.
Speaker 2: The Stock Movers report, your roundup of companies making moves
Speaker 2: in the stock market, harnessing the power of Bloomberg data.
Speaker 3: Let's bring in Bloombergs. Is about lee with some market movers.
Speaker 3: Not too much liquidity, not too much action in this market.
Speaker 3: But what are you keeping your eye on?
Speaker 4: We're seeing some movement. Neo shares, for instance, ticker and
Speaker 4: io is up by a little more than one percent.
Speaker 4: That's after the even maker reported deliveries for December that
Speaker 4: showed a thirty three percent gain month over months. So
Speaker 4: Chinese EVN makers are in the spotlight actually because Beijing
Speaker 4: said they will continue to support National Consumer Goods Trade
Speaker 4: and Program, which has been key policy to encourage car
Speaker 4: purchases in the country. So Beijing also said they will
Speaker 4: broad in their physical spending base in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4: So you see shares of other companies like geele or
Speaker 4: xpang also in the green.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Neo has definitely been one of those
Speaker 1: shares that's been hugely volatile all year. We were talking
Speaker 1: about our h used free restoration hardware I guess with
Speaker 1: Natalia earlier, and that's been a mover because of Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: Actually it's been a mover because of Donald Trump. And
Speaker 4: UR shares are up by almost double digits. It's really
Speaker 4: gaining after a tariff delay. Shares are trading above a
Speaker 4: two hundred DMA for the first time since March DMIS
Speaker 4: in moving day average, and if you look at all
Speaker 4: the technical analysis the Fibonacci in January high to March low,
Speaker 4: it's around two hundred and two dollars. But ourh I
Speaker 4: was trying to google it because I've been to an
Speaker 4: rh rooftop in Chelsea. They have a nice restaurant and
Speaker 4: I was looking whether they're connected, and I think they are.
Speaker 4: But it's interesting to see furniture retailers really doing well.
Speaker 4: But they really have to also diversified their sourcing ahead
Speaker 4: of the tariffs this year and next in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 3: Certainly you're also looking at an electric power equipment company
Speaker 3: Vertive Holdings.
Speaker 4: Vertive Holding stock is up by four and a half percent.
Speaker 4: That's after Barclays upgraded a power equipment company to overweight
Speaker 4: from so. Barkley said that it shares currently offer a
Speaker 4: good entry point following recent volatility. They also note that
Speaker 4: this stock's here today performance versus overweight rated artificial intelligence
Speaker 4: name like g i Vernova and nvent Electric, which is
Speaker 4: good for the company. So this leaves very ripe for
Speaker 4: some ketchup.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now you also had a hand in the story that
Speaker 1: he's gonna ge a lot of reads today. It's a
Speaker 1: very funny story, but I was a little disappointed. So
Speaker 1: the title of the story is bet against Christ's return
Speaker 1: pays five and a half percent annual gain on polymarket.
Speaker 1: So it's well, it turns out that people have been
Speaker 1: betting if twenty twenty five is the year that Jesus
Speaker 1: Christ will return, and it actually was a positive gain
Speaker 1: for them.
Speaker 2: But he's not.
Speaker 1: He didn't come.
Speaker 4: He didn't come, I think somebody out there. So poly
Speaker 4: market is this niche world that we're trying to monitor
Speaker 4: poll Market and call sheet and all the other platforms
Speaker 4: because you see a lot of interesting bets there, for instance,
Speaker 4: the frequency of Elon Musk tweets, or even Jeffrey Epstein
Speaker 4: will he turn up alive? So you have oddball stuff
Speaker 4: like that, but you also have really serious stuff. And
Speaker 4: so for things like these, I talked to a lot
Speaker 4: of professors and they all said that, okay, they're fun,
Speaker 4: but it diminishes the importance of these prediction markets because
Speaker 4: remember the prediction markets.
Speaker 1: Have been around your of religious leaders.
Speaker 4: But yeah, go on too. But they started in popularity
Speaker 4: during the elections when they were more accurate than some
Speaker 4: of the polls. So they do have utility in that sense.
Speaker 4: But yes, with this specific bet.
Speaker 1: There were definitely accurate in this case.
Speaker 4: Yeah, some three point three million was placed on the bed.
Speaker 4: Of course many came in as no. And yes, I'm
Speaker 4: annualized without fees, Uh, they gain a profit of five
Speaker 4: and a half.
Speaker 1: Who I mean, who out there took the other side
Speaker 1: of that bet?
Speaker 4: So that's the other thing. I mean, you would think
Speaker 4: who in the right mind would vote no? Maybe some believers,
Speaker 4: but also some of the professors I spoke but said
Speaker 4: not everyone who trades trade to hold. Sometimes you arbitrage.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good point profit.
Speaker 4: So that's also what I thought in the beginning.
Speaker 1: Could it be christ or Elon Howard? Yes, like you
Speaker 1: want to take one of those for sure?
